The instructions for the explosion box
Our DIY ideas for an explosion box is one of the simplest paper craft ideas and is aimed at young and old. The shape of the classic explosion box is similar to a die. According to the template provided, outline the basis for the explosion box. On our template we use thick lines to facilitate cutting and dotted lines to facilitate folding. Then start with the decoration. Each square gives you space to give your imagination free rein and to create a work of art.
A square is made in the form of a bag. There you can put a note with a personal story or a wish for Christmas. On the second square stick a few Christmas stickers – Santa Claus or reindeer. Write “Merry Christmas” on the other square with the help of thread and glue, or find a nice font and print the text on paper. So all squares are full. However, after creating your own Christmas gifts with multiple illustrations and ornaments, such as photos or wishes, sayings or quotes, add a few more crosses – each one shorter, 0.5 cm from each side, to fit under the lid.
In the middle of the cross stands the Baste. In our instructions, we stick a fir tree in the middle, which becomes an eye-catcher after opening the explosion box. To taste, you can leave different items or small gifts there. Finally, fold the lid and cover the box.
